DELHI TOWNSHIP -- A pair of students are facing charges after police say they prank called a suicide hotline from school.

Ingham County Sheriff Sgt. Dennis Hall said deputies were dispatched to Capital City Baptist Church, 5100 Willoughby Road in Holt, at about 1:05 p.m. Thursday. Dispatchers received a call via the local suicide hotline from a caller who had a gun was intending on killing himself/herself.

Sheriff's deputies traced the call to a cell phone at the school. Hall said deputies located the student whose phone placed the call. That student then identified a second student who was involved in the incident.

The pair, 17 and 18 years old, admitted to the prank. Hall said no weapons were found.

The school was locked down for precautionary purposes.

Hall said both students will be charged, adding that prank calling about a gun in a school is no laughing matter.

"We take anything to do with a gun seriously," Hall said. "You couple that with a gun in a school and we take that very seriously. We are going to be doing some things with these kids that will involve charges."
